We have the BoSox and D-Rays having a solo home run fest, and my boy the Great White Hype Kelly Pavlik is taking on Old Man Weathers Bernard Hopkins. I know, I know. No one cares about boxing. Maybe they would if all the good fights weren't on PPV.

Anyway, on to the picks. Week 6 saw me go 9-5, which ain't bad. Hopefully I can top that this week.

This week is brought to you by the sounds of Otis Redding, as I have got my record player going and am jamming out. Another wild night at Casa de Bernardini.

A lot of upsets, a few teams won, but refused to cover. I ended up at 6-7. And all because I messed up and accidently picked the Cowboys instead of the points.

Above .500 anyway. Perhaps I should listen to the odds makers when they only pick one home dog.

We'll try this again, and perhaps pay a little more attention to Vegas.

Here are my picks for the week. As usual, I'll come back Tuesday and see how well I did.

My picks are in bold.

As fond as all three of the regular readers of the blog are to see the Bon Jovi headline go, it's time to get back into this.

My plans are to focus mainly on Fantasy Football and all things NFL, but I will also react to breaking news and crazy stories throughout the day, ala Deadspin .

Here's what's going on so far today....

It's amazing how many pups of baseball are starting to grow into their paws.

Being that's it's been a few months and I've been more inconsistent with my posts than most of the Giant's hitters at the dish, no promises.
I think I got a little overwhelmed by trying to do too much and just gave up. So now, with no promises and no excuses, Decleated returns.

Just haven't updated here in a while. I'm going to try to just start writing less with less links more often, then drop a bigger blog entry once or twice a week. I also want to start writing full columns once or twice a month. We'll see how that goes.

Regardless, we are back today with a boat-load of issues to get to.


....and away we go....

I have one fantasy baseball draft Thursday night, another one next Sunday and my hard-core keeper league draft on the 16th.

It's that time of year to shelve your fantasy basketball season (of which I'm running shop in second place) and prepare for the longest and most arduous season of them all. The problem is when researching on the best approach to a draft, there are often several theories. They are based on keeper leagues, roto-leagues, auction leagues and the traditional game.

Today I want to break down some good options that can have you ready to draft before you can say Saltalamachia.

And of couse make fun of athletes....cause that's what I do here.

Join me, won't you?

This blog is brought to you by some wicked midnight creativity fueled by my favorite new internet music site Slacker Radio. It's a virtual juke box with unlimited songs on playlists you pick. So, with some Kaiser Chiefs and some Bloc Party bumpin, let's discuss (only I will talk please) some random stuff.

Shall we?

Keep goin.....

Say goodbye to one of the last remaining pieces of when the team was, you know, good.
I'll break this thing down and tell you why this move was nothing more than a salary dump for the Kings. As for the Hawks, they now have about six guards on that team. I guess they are stock-piling, perhaps for another deal.

Since nothing has me that worked up, let's get to some quick hits....
